Bruce Lee's daughter has signed on to produce a new biopic about the martial arts movie legend, marking the first project to be made with the family's full involvement. Shannon Lee, under her company Bruce Lee Entertainment, has teamed with producers Lawrence Grey and Janet Yang to make the as-yet-untitled film about her movie star dad.
She says in a statement, "There have been projects out there involving my father, but they've lacked a complete understanding of his philosophies and artistry.
"They haven't captured the essence of his beliefs in martial arts or storytelling. The only way to get audiences to understand the depth and uniqueness of my father is to generate our own material and find amazing, like-minded partners to work with... Many don't know that Bruce Lee was also a prolific writer and a creator of his own unique art and philosophy. That's what we want to show - not just his kick-a** physicality, but the depth of his character and beliefs."
Shannon and her production company are also developing a TV series based on original ideas and materials by her father with Fast & Furious 6 director Justin Lin, as well as a reality TV show for China with Keanu Reeves.
Enter the Dragon star Lee died in 1973 at the age of 32 following an adverse reaction to a painkiller.

Celebrities can either be notoriously rude/standoffish or exceedingly generous to their devoted fans. On one hand we don't blame them, because some fans can do creepy stuff, but on the other hand, we love a celeb who appreciates the people that got them to where they are. These celebrities went above and beyond (and some have several times) for their fans.

Gwyneth Paltrow gave her estranged husband Chris Martin a big boost on Wednesday night (29Oct14) by hailing him as "father of the year" as she introduced him onstage at the AmfAR gala in Los Angeles. The actress beamed with pride as she welcomed the event's surprise performer.
Paltrow, who was hosting the gala, said, "This brilliant singer/songwriter has sold eight million records, has won every single award that there is to be won, especially Father of the Year, which he has won consecutively since 2004.
"I am speaking of Chris Martin, and the incredibly talented Jonny Buckland, who together make up one-half of the legendary band Coldplay."
Martin and his bandmate took the stage and played Coldplay tunes Paradise and Viva La Vida.
The singer quipped, "Good evening. This is Justin Timberlake. I'm Justin Bieber. We are Bieber and Timberlake and we play Coldplay covers just for the money."
Ironically, Timberlake was sitting next to Martin's estranged wife in the audience.
AmFar gala regular Sharon Stone later took the stage and complimented Paltrow for keeping her marriage split amicable, stating, "We thank you for your inner and outer beauty, which you demonstrated by the fact that you get along with your ex-husband (sic)."
Paltrow famously "consciously uncoupled" from her husband of 10 years in March (14), but they have remained friendly and have repeatedly been photographed enjoying dinner together since the public announcement.
Martin's gala appearance occurred two days after his reported romance with actress Jennifer Lawrence came to an end following four months of dating.

It's almost become a game — how many things can be blamed on Miley Cyrus? When she went out on her Bangerz tour, mothers — none of whom had apparently been paying attention to what the singer's been up to since Hannah Montana — took to the web to complain about her antics, comparing the stage show to porn and lamenting the fact that their children had been exposed to it. Joe Jonas wrote a tell-all essay for New York Magazine, where he revealed that it was peer-pressure from Cyrus and Demi Lovato that got him to smoke pot for the first time. When she subsequently lit up a joint on stage in Amsterdam, she was labeled out of control. Months after, she caught a ton of flak for her "twerking" at the MTV Video Music Awards, the Internet exploded with rumors that Cyrus was the real reason behind the break-up of Robin Thicke and his wife, Paula Patton.
Now, Katy Perry is taking shots at the singer after Cyrus tried to kiss her at a concert, telling an Australian television show that she backed away from the smooch because, "God knows where that tongue has been." Even something as simple as being photographed using a teleprompter during a concert in Denver — a practice that did not originate with Cyrus — becomes national tabloid fodder. All that's missing at this point is Vladimir Putin issuing a statement saying that Cyrus is the real cause behind the unrest in the Ukraine.
Do a search for Cyrus' name and you'll return a lot of self-righteous posturing about her habit of not wearing clothes and her professed love of marijuana. The problem with all of this is that when you boil it all down, there's absolutely nothing wrong with what Cyrus is doing. In fact, if anything, it's a savvy career move.
Cyrus' image make-over isn't the first of its kind. When Drew Barrymore wanted to be seen as something more than the girl from E.T., she posed for Playboy and flashed David Letterman on national television. Within the music industry, Cyrus still has a ways to go before she tops the dual masters of self-promotion, Madonna and Lady Gaga. Heck, Madonna was kissing Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera years before Cyrus thought of it, and Gaga has been naked (or nearly) so often that it doesn't even register anymore.
So, why does what Cyrus is doing bother so many people? Is it because there's a segment of the audience that feels like they've watched her grow up on her Disney Channel show? Is it because she comes from a country music background with its more "traditional" values and with none other than Dolly Parton as her godmother? Or is it just that even now, people have difficulty with a young woman flaunting her sexuality?
The truth is that as a culture there are continuous mixed messages about female sexuality. Being sexy is valued, but being overtly sexual can go either way. When Jennifer Lawrence goes on Conan and tells a story about sex aides, it gets treated as something cute. If Kim Kardashian does the same thing, the nicest label that gets attached to her is "vapid." Madonna and Gaga are hailed as smart business women for parlaying an image based largely on sex into millions of dollars, but Spears is continuously portrayed disparagingly for doing the same thing. Cyrus was bashed for the tone of her concerts, but mothers routinely take their daughters to Perry's shows that feature skimpy costumes, stripper poles and a variety of accoutrements tied to her breasts. How does any young female performer that's coming up know what's over the line, when the line isn't the same for any two women?
To her credit, Cyrus does not take the criticism without hitting back. When Jonas made his comments, she responded to the New York Times that, "If you want to smoke weed, you're going to smoke weed. There's nothing that two little girls are going to get you to do that you don't want to do." When Perry called her out, she took to Twitter to shoot back about Perry's ex-boyfriend John Mayer, "Girl if ur worried abt where tongues have been good thing ur ex boo is ur EX BOO cause we all know where THAT (tongue) been."
She also has a sense of humor about it, appearing on Saturday Night Live two different times in the fall to make fun of the furor over her behavior. Parton, who was never shy about using her own sexuality to gain notice, has defended her goddaughter as well, telling a London newspaper, "It's not easy being young. You almost have to sacrifice your damn soul to get anything done."
Unlike Justin Bieber and Lindsay Lohan, Cyrus appears to know exactly what she's doing. If she's to blame for anything, it's for showcasing again the double-standards that get applied to strong, young women.

Eddie Murphy/Motown Records
It pays to be able to do a little bit of everything. Since many celebrities have their hands in more than one business, it’s not surprising when actors, models, or athletes release their own albums. After all, you got to make that money. However, whether it's bizarre singing, misguided styling, or just plain buffoonery, plenty of these celebs have made really poor choices in pursuing musical avenues.
Eddie Murphy
In the '80s, Murphy proved himself to be a major comedy kingpin. He found a touch of musical success with “Party All the Time,” but his high voice and lack of stage personality have hindered him since. He sounds disturbingly like Prince but lacks the camp and sex appeal. For example this song, “Put Your Mouth on Me” lacks either the sex appeal or humor to carry such a suggestive song. He’s recently collaborated with Snoop Lion and maybe he’ll be able to erase his misguided attempts at pop music.
Carmen Electra
Poor Carmen Electra. She’s beautiful, she’s funny, but she can’t seem to catch a break. She never really found much success in television, movies, or marriage. And despite being a Prince protégé, she did not find success in music. Her songs were a little too on-the-nose, with titles like “Go-Go Dancer” and “Fantasia Erotica.”
Oscar de la Hoya
A background in boxing isn't usually the first thing you think about when you're looking for a new music artist to latch onto. De la Hoya doesn’t have the most aggressive speaking voice. That combined with overly sweet ballads make him sound like a sexy baby. His album was originally released in Spanish with some English translations. However, the language barrier was not enough to save his overly high voice and misguided genre choice.
Alyssa Milano
In between Who’s the Boss and Charmed, Milano did find some success in music... in Japan. Her juvenile pop music seems more fitting for karaoke than for the dance charts. But she did a lot of talk-singing and not enough performing. Milano does embody the cheesiness of her time period but she didn’t have the panache to make it in the American music charts.
Joey Lawrence
Lawrence had all the makings of a teen heartthrob. He tried his hand at music with "Nothin' My Love Can't Fix" and had decent success with the teen market. However, he didn’t have the musical chops to really deliver on ballads as proven from this video. Had he tried for a more Justin Bieber vibe he probably could have made millions and then got caught into an egg-throwing scandal. Instead, he’s been relegated to basic cable purgatory with Melissa &amp; Joey.
Naomi Campbell
Before she proved her hand at throwing phones, Campbell released an album entitled Baby Woman. That may be reason enough to not want to listen to any of her music. She has a decent singing voice but her sounds seem to both embody and rub against the 1990s. Maybe all of her iPhone-hurtling anger is over the failure of her music career.
Kevin Federline
It may be a stretch to consider Federline a celebrity. Especially, considering he did not find success with his music career after divorcing Britney Spears. He previewed his first albums with two songs, including “PopoZão” that were so bad they weren’t included on the album. To add insult to injury, said album, Playing with Fire was also a huge dud. Looks like his music is toxic and he’s slipping under.

Justin Bieber has been subpoenaed to testify in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed against him by his former housekeeper. Tatiana Voziouk began working as a maid at the Baby hitmaker's Calabasas, California mansion in August, 2012, but was let go unexpectedly last summer (13).
She filed suit over the matter last year (13) and Bieber has now been summoned to appear in court on Tuesday (11Mar14).
Voziouk's lawyer, Lawrence Ring, tells the New York Daily News, "My client was extremely diligent, loyal and hardworking, making sure that the house was running as efficiently as possible. No reason was given to my client for her termination."
The suit is Bieber's latest legal woe - he stormed out of a deposition relating to a photographer assault case in Miami, Florida on Thursday (07Mar14), while he is facing trial over DUI charges stemming from an arrest in Florida in January (14).
He is also under investigation for vandalism over a reported 'egging' attack on a Calabasas neighbour's home, and is facing another assault allegation from a chauffeur in Canada.

DreamWorks
For the bulk of every Rocky and Bullwinkle episode, moose and squirrel would engage in high concept escapades that satirized geopolitics, contemporary cinema, and the very fabrics of the human condition. With all of that to work with, there's no excuse for why the pair and their Soviet nemeses haven't gotten a decent movie adaptation. But the ingenious Mr. Peabody and his faithful boy Sherman are another story, intercut between Rocky and Bullwinkle segments to teach kids brief history lessons and toss in a nearly lethal dose of puns. Their stories and relationship were much simpler, which means that bringing their shtick to the big screen would entail a lot more invention — always risky when you're dealing with precious material.
For the most part, Mr. Peabody &amp; Sherman handles the regeneration of its heroes aptly, allowing for emotionally substance in their unique father-son relationship and all the difficulties inherent therein. The story is no subtle metaphor for the difficulties surrounding gay adoption, with society decreeing that a dog, no matter how hyper-intelligent, cannot be a suitable father. The central plot has Peabody hosting a party for a disapproving child services agent and the parents of a young girl with whom 7-year-old Sherman had a schoolyard spat, all in order to prove himself a suitable dad. Of course, the WABAC comes into play when the tots take it for a spin, forcing Peabody to rush to their rescue.
Getting down to personals, we also see the left brain-heavy Peabody struggle with being father Sherman deserves. The bulk of the emotional marks are hit as we learn just how much Peabody cares for Sherman, and just how hard it has been to accept that his only family is growing up and changing.
DreamWorks
But more successful than the new is the film's handling of the old — the material that Peabody and Sherman purists will adore. They travel back in time via the WABAC Machine to Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, and the Trojan War, and 18th Century France, explaining the cultural backdrop and historical significance of the settings and characters they happen upon, all with that irreverent (but no longer racist) flare that the old cartoons enjoyed. And oh... the puns.
Mr. Peabody &amp; Sherman is a f**king treasure trove of some of the most amazingly bad puns in recent cinema. This effort alone will leave you in awe.
The film does unravel in its final act, bringing the science-fiction of time travel a little too close to the forefront and dropping the ball on a good deal of its emotional groundwork. What seemed to be substantial building blocks do not pay off in the way we might, as scholars of animated family cinema, have anticipated, leaving the movie with an unfinished feeling.
But all in all, it's a bright, compassionate, reasonably educational, and occasionally funny if not altogether worthy tribute to an old favorite. And since we don't have our own WABAC machine to return to a time of regularly scheduled Peabody and Sherman cartoons, this will do okay for now.
If nothing else, it's worth your time for the puns.
3/5
